HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

I hope you have an amazing day!

I'm glad that I was able to be home this weekend and share it with you!

Thank you for everything that you have given me.

For always being there

and listening when it was needed.

You are funny,

creative,

talented,

lovable,

pretty

and

the best mom ever!

I hope you enjoy your day!

I love you!!

Fall Break Is Finally Here!

Yessssssss.

I finally made it to Fall Break!

I get to spend four days at home.

(There will be a little homework, but I'm home!)

I can't wait to carve pumpkins,

play with puppies,

take pictures,

enjoy the Trick or Treaters,

and

celebrate my Mom's birthday!

It's going to be a great weekend!

On another note. My sister and brother-in-law were not able to make it this weekend.

My brother-in-law, Matt had to have surgery early this morning. It was an outpatient, but
the recovery is going to be a couple of weeks.
Please keep them in your prayers and for the fast healing of Matt and that the pain he is in will go away.
Also, pray for Jennifer as she takes care of him.

We were all disappointed that they weren't able to join us this weekend, but
we want Matt to be all better
and
we know that there will be other weekends when they will be able to come down.
Those plans are already being made.
:-)

Hope you have a great Friday!
Enjoy your weekends!

There Is A World

There is a world that
I may never be a part of.
But, if You aren't there,
I don't want any part of it.

To long for something so much,
But knowing that
I should long for You more.
To long for You,
More than that world.

A world that
I may never be a part of.
A place where I seem like such a
stranger.

A place so foreign to me,
That I can't even understand.
I can't communicate.
I can't see.
I can't comprehend,
This world that I
May never be a part of.

But if You aren't there,
That place isn't for me.
I don't have to understand,
I just need to trust You.

There is a world,
Where I do belong.
A world that is filled with You.
A world far more beautiful
Than anything I have ever seen before.

And a world that I still may not
Understand,
But an eternal world,
Where You are there.
And I am there.

A world where
You embrace me and
Where You hide me,
Under the shadow of Your wings.

A world where
You are there.
And that is enough.
More than enough.

So Close I Can Almost Feel It!!!

Jambo! 

So, I'm sitting here sipping on a Caramel Latte, in the library "studying". Although I haven't even started copying/looking through notes for my test tomorrow! :-/

But, I am so excited for this weekend it is not even funny. Our Fall Break is this weekend. (Not much of a break, only one day off. Don't get us UA students started about that! But, it is better than nothing!) Meaning, we don't have to go to class on Friday. So, I get to go home Thursday afternoon after my class is out! I am so excited to spend four days at home! 

What makes this trip even better is this: 

First, it is my mom's birthday and on Halloween! :-) 

She is turning...well, she may not want me to post that, but she is another year older and believe me you wouldn't know even if I told you. I love you, Mom! :-) 

Second, my sister and brother-in-law are coming into town! This is the first time that they have gotten to come visit us and we are very excited. I'm glad that the time has finally come and that it fell on this weekend! 

We are going to have a lot of fun. 

I am so excited! 

Now, I only have to get through my Macroeconomics test and another oral presentation in Swahili and then I am free!! 

What are your exciting plans for this weekend?? 

Have fun wherever you may be and doing whatever you may be doing. 

:-)

Kwaheri!

(A post may be coming soon that will be in all Swahili! I'm loving that class! :-) )

I'm Lost

I'm lost.
I don't know what to do.
I'm lost.
Everything is hard.
I'm lost.

You're there.
You know what to do.
You're there.
You make everything easy.
You're there.

I'm lost.
I can't see anything.
I'm lost.
I don't know what to think.
I'm lost.
I mess everything up.
I'm lost.

You're there.
You see it all.
You're there.
You know it all, even before it happens.
You're there.
You perfect it all.
You're there.

I'm lost.
But You,
You are here.

I'm back...sort of.

Hey!
So long story short.
My computer has decided to crash, be stupid, not work, and restart itself over and over again. So, needless to say,I haven't been able to use it. Which hinders me in school stuff, procrastinating on Facebook, and writing new blogs. However, I have been able to read yall's blogs and stay caught up with you.
Sorry that my blog has been left alone. And that you haven't been able to enjoy anything new. But awhile ago I told y'all how I was getting an iPod Touch. Well I did get one and that has been the handy tool that has allowed me to keep reading yall's blogs.
And now, instead of me waiting around to get to a computer, I will be posting blogs from my iPod Touch. So if there are mistakes, please excuse them. It is a tiny screen. Haha

But I hope that it won't be forever until posts come from me again. There will be posts even if some of them are really short.

:-)
